A monthly taxable allowance payable if you suffer from lost job opportunities because you are permanently and severely impaired. You may qualify for a Permanent Impairment Allowance if you are a CF Veteran who has:     a physical and/or mental impairment that is severe and permanent;     a...

wow,  thanks for getting this back on topic.  I think CANEX hijacked this thread over the important topic of SISIP clawback.  I did learn one thing,  a lot of CANEX haters out there!

They corrected a wrong and when that is done, they should be commended.  Just one vet to another! FYI - disability income aside. when you stop paying taxes on legit income including CFSA pensions is when you stop becoming a citizen. Is every pensioner suppose to enjoy your utopia or just us...

OTTAWA - Canada's Department of Veterans Affairs has ended its long-standing, controversial policy of clawing back the benefit payments of disabled soldiers, sailors and aircrew — a move critics say has been far too long in coming. Effective immediately, the Harper government will no longer...

It is clear on how the process is suppose to work and seems to play out in explanations in every thread.  The one's you hear about on this site is rarely the one's that were successful.  I have seen my far share of eye popping decisions from all levels of the so called "informed" decision making...

You're looking for a "SERVICE Officer",  easy to find through you local legion but available info on your provincial RCL website.  They only Co-Represent with (PBA) Pension Bureau Advocate AKA - VAC appointed lawyer (supposedly arms length). I hope the appeal is for a separate issue because you...

Yup, my wife took the PH approach after 3b release and succeeded in employment with DND resulting in -25k income and 2 yrs later received an affected letter.  There 88 affected in Petawawa alone,  I wonder ow many more are released vets with injuries.  Nice!

Monthly under old charter.  That is what everyone wants to go back to.  You will receive more overtime than new charter without question.

I feel for you but you are not the first.  There is some documentation to support that decision which I will try to drag up.  They are basing there decision at the "time of release".  If you live in Ontario try this.  Google "Ontario Trial Lawyers for Veterans",  probono service for cases like...

Well I must admit this is a spirited thread.  I was just saying that if you don't like what you see in there,  like the last post says,  join it to change it.  Blaming the Legion for it's inaction isn't productive.  You are entitled to one year free membership at large that I took advantage of...

Fellow Veterans I hear a lot of talk of how the RC Legion has not stepped up to advocate like it used to.  I'm not defending the organization because there is certainly some truth to that depending on where you go.  Some branches has turned into glorified bars with creative ways in spending...

B Client = Injured SDA/SDO + VIP SDO/SDA injured veteran remains an A Client if they don't have VIP. A Client is always an A Client based on a non SDO/SDA injury even with VIP.

My sources tell me that this applies only to "B" Clients.  That part was not announced by the Minister.  He's left that to the poor front line worker making it look like they've divided the veterans into separate groups, it could be quite a sh*t show for a while.  Hope I'm wrong but it came from...

Well apparently I misled you about the process according to "Cdnleaf", even though I have 4 VAC claims which includes 2 successful self represented appeals.  Maybe it's because I don't foot stomp about the NVC and would rather work with the legislation than complain about it.  Always thought...

If you have the diagnosis report cross reference that with the disability tables on the VAC website for you specific injury.  It's not an exact science but it will help.  Before you jump to appeal,  remember you can be reaccessed after every 2nd year.  You already have a favourable decision.

It is not a bureaucratic mess,  remember anytime public money is involved,  there will be bureaucracy to ensure it's adjudicanted properly,  at least in theory, LOL.  If you make a VAC claim for disability they will use the GDMO reports for any diagnosis.  If the GDMO does not provide that as...

So I retired a while ago.  What ever happened to this issue?  This should be a good thread!

The implementation of the DND Work Force Management Board (WFMB) has generated concern for injured and ill CF personnel that had planned to invoke their priority hiring entitlement upon medical release in anticipation of a public service career. JPSU Transition Services has been advised by...

No that does not exclude PH.  Anyone can use a PH on an external hiring process.  The only exception to PH is on internal hiring process where the person being hired is already a public servant.  To even get access to the internal process you need to be on a government computer (example...
